Rebirth of the pastoral landlady

Chapter 201 Pressure (Part [-])
Old Liangtou's heart is bleeding. Old Liangtou thought about it all the way. For the present plan, he had to take one step at a time. In a few days, Liang Yuju would be exiled to the West Dam. Old Liangtou had to hurry up before that. Go to the West Dam to make some arrangements, so that Liang Yuju's life there will be a little easier.

But where does the money come from?When old Liangtou saw the long row of blue tiles and white walls in the courtyard of Liang Yuzhong's house under the official road, he made up his mind.

Seeing Liang Yuzhong and Mrs. Sun sitting there, old Liangtou remained silent. He seemed to agree with Jin Xi's words, and Jin Xi seemed sincere and earnest, but it was clear that the real intention behind that sincerity was still unwilling to borrow silver.

Old Liangtou lamented in his heart, knowing that all of this was the result of Liang Yuju's own fault, no wonder other people were unwilling to reach out, but everyone can't ignore Liang Yuju, but he can't let him go, because he is his old man, his father !

At this time, women's voices came from outside the main room again, Jin Xi looked sideways, and at a glance, she saw a few women walking around from the Sijiqing tree, including Chunzhu's family, Daniu's family, and Cui's family Cui Kongque and several other women in the village will come over to help Mrs. Sun check the hatching at this time in the past few days.

Old Liangtou also caught a glimpse of the women who were walking towards the main room outside. He was a little hesitant at first, but now his heart suddenly twitched, and the muscles around his cheeks twitched violently. Then, he quickly got up and walked to In front of Liang Yuzhong and Mrs. Sun, although his back is a little rickety, it is not as exaggerated as the rickety one at the moment. From the side, he really looks like a poor old man in his dying years.

He glanced at the woman who was gradually approaching outside the corridor, looked at Liang Yuzhong and Mrs. Sun, and Jinxi observed the old Liangtou from behind. He was secretly surprised, and then he stood up and moved forward. go.

"Third son, third daughter-in-law, this trip is the last time father begs you, ten taels of silver, father, father, I will kneel down for you..." Old Liangtou said, and he was about to kneel down, Liang Yuzhong and Sun Shi As if struck by lightning, he bounced up from the chair, because it was too late to stop after a few steps.

Seeing that Old Liang was about to kneel down, suddenly, a pair of hands firmly supported his arm, and a force pulled him upwards, and when Old Liang turned his head, it was really Jin Xi who rushed up to hold him back. Asking him to kneel, the old Liangtou Lao's eyes flashed with anger quickly, and he wanted to shake off Jin Xi and kneel again.

At this time, Liang Yuzhong and Sun Shi had already recovered from the shock, and they rushed up together, one on the left and one on the right, to hold the old Liang's head firmly, and Jin Xi pushed hard from behind, directly holding the old Liang's head firmly Sit down on the chair that Liang Yuzhong sat on just now.

"Xi'erniang, are those hens still sitting in their nests today? Hey, Old Liang Uncle is here too? When did you come here?" With the crisp and clear voice of Daniu's family, a few The women rushed into the main room, and at a glance, they saw Lao Liang sitting firmly on the big chair, Liang Yuzhong and Sun Shi standing on both sides, Jinxi was smiling and bringing a bowl of tea, and gave Lao Liang his hands head up.

But looking at the appearance of old Liangtou, he seemed a little unhappy.Da Niu's daughter-in-law and the others greeted him, and they all gave him a few faint hums. The women exchanged glances quietly, and hurriedly left the main room and went to the backyard under the pretext of hatching eggs.

When the footsteps were far away, Liang Yuzhong squatted aside in the main room annoyed, and said, "Father, what are you doing? What are you doing? There is no itching on you and mother. I will ask the doctor to buy it for you." Medicine, it is a gift and filial money during the festival, when did I frown? Huh?"

"I'm your son. You came to kneel down to borrow money from my elder brother, not to mention what you would think if you were seen by outsiders. If Xi'er hadn't hurriedly stopped you, if I really ate your kneel, You must be struck by lightning!"

"Father, even if Xi'er said that, she's just talking about the matter. Haven't Daddy Xi'er and I made a statement yet? Ten taels of silver, and we didn't say we wouldn't borrow it. What do you always have to do with me and Daddy Xi'er?" It's good to discuss, we are all a family, kneeling or something, this is going to break us." Sun also said, with a slight dissatisfaction in his tone.

Old Liangtou also leaned on the back of the chair dejectedly. Facing Liang Yuzhong's complaints, his old face turned red and blue at times, and he couldn't help it!
He glanced guiltily at Liang Yuzhong who was squatting on the ground with his head in his arms, murmured, and defended himself: "No, my head is full of the miserable appearance of your elder brother, and I feel that I have repeatedly dragged you down, and I feel sorry , things are a bit messy..."

"Master, Xi'er understands your anxiety as a father, but my father is also your son, uncle is notorious in the village now, if your kneeling spreads to the villagers, my father and mother will also lose their reputation. Stealing chickens is not enough to lose money, isn't this the result you want?" Jin Xi asked in a clear voice, because she disdained Old Liangtou's previous behavior of deliberately kneeling down for outsiders to see, so her tone of voice became a little bit heavier .

Old Liang's eyelids twitched abruptly, and he looked at Jin Xi in surprise. That's right, he just wanted to let outsiders see him as a father and kneel down to his son and daughter-in-law, hoping to put pressure on Liang Yuzhong's family by doing so. , Obediently borrow ten taels of silver, or even more.

However, Jin Xi, a ghost girl, actually saw through her plans and every move, and even stopped him at the last moment.

Old Liangtou looked gloomy and gloomy, thinking that his scheming would be seen through and his son would complain, ten taels of silver would definitely be hopeless, even if his son was willing to borrow it, he would have no shame in asking for it.

Old Liangtou didn't want to say anything more, he waved his hands, stood up from the chair, and slowly moved towards the door of the main room with heavy steps. This time, his back was really bent.

"Grandpa, wait a minute." Jin Xi called out from behind, trotted to the front of Lao Liangtou, and said, "I'm in charge of my house, and after the Chinese New Year, the family's money caught six little piggies, and the rest The first two days were spent buying eggs for hatching, and now I have less than five taels of broken money on hand, and this is not counting the monthly bills that have not yet been distributed to Butler Cai and the others."

"I won't ask you to borrow money anymore, and you don't want to cry poor like me!" Old Liang shook his hand indifferently, said, and was about to leave.

"Grandpa, do you think this is going to work? Just wait patiently for two more days. I will find a way to plan the matter of the money. If there is no business trip, I will definitely rush before the uncle goes to the West Dam, so that the money can reach the master's hands smoothly." , maybe it's more than ten taels of silver." Jin Xi said.

More than ten taels of silver?Old Liang was stunned for a moment, and he was overjoyed, thinking that he had heard wrongly, he looked at Jin Xi blankly.

Both Liang Yuzhong and Mrs. Sun were astonished. They didn't know why Jinxi suddenly changed his attitude. Old Liangtou was really surprised this time. He looked at Jinxi in disbelief, his lips parted, and wanted to say that the money he would pay in his lifetime Try to pay it back.

But Jin Xi seemed to be able to guess what he was going to say, she waved her hand, and smiled at Lao Liang with a tired face: "Master, you don't need to say anything, just wait patiently for a few days! "After finishing speaking, he ignored him and turned back to the inner courtyard.

"Third brother, look at this..." Lao Liang pointed at Jin Xi's leaving back and asked Liang Yuzhong blankly.

"Father, Xi'er won't make promises lightly. She will definitely do her best to find a solution for you for what she promises. Just wait patiently for a few days!" Liang Yuzhong said coldly.

Old Liangtou nodded, and left half-believingly. If it were in a normal state, Liang Yuzhong would definitely personally support and send Old Liangtou back to the village, but this time, Liang Yuzhong sent him to the door of the main house and asked Cai Qingyang to send him off. .

In the inner courtyard, Liang Yuzhong and Mrs. Sun suppressed their bad feelings about the old Liangtou's kneeling, and surrounded Jinxi. Liang Yuzhong asked worriedly: "Girl Xi, what did you plan to do with your promise to your master?" It’s opening in spring, and the three shops are busy with stocking. Don’t you often say that the cash flowing in the shop must not be transferred casually? Do you really want to move the cash in the shop? "

"That's right, Xi'er, it's really impossible. I still have the private room you usually give me in my dressing drawer. There are two taels of silver in total, and a pair of sterling silver earrings..."

The sterling silver earrings were specially bought by Jin Xi from a jewelry store in the county for Mrs. Sun. Mrs. Sun had no decent jewelry on her body. Those earrings cost two taels of silver, but Mrs. Distressed, are reluctant to wear.

"Mother, you keep the earrings, and you don't need to move your private house. What I said to you so bluntly today is to show an attitude, and both parents have seen it. My father is going to Xida Dam to run around for uncle. , It seems that we have become determined after eating the weight, none of us can stop it, since we can't stop it, then let's not stop it at all." Jin Xi mused.

"Whatever your grandfather wants to do for your uncle, then let him go, but the money has to come from our family, and I'm the first one who doesn't like it! Not for anything else, but because your uncle is his own fault. You have to suffer to know your mistakes! Besides, who knows if those jailers in the West Dam can be trusted? Ten taels of silver is a big deal in our peasant family. Put it in the eyes of those people. Do you know if you can open those eyelids!" Liang Yuzhong said depressedly.

Mrs. Sun nodded and looked at Jinxi in embarrassment. Jinxi smiled lightly and thoughtfully said: "Father, mother, please carefully consider what I promised you just now. There is enough money in it, but it didn’t say that the money must be flowed out from our family, I can also make a bridge, so that the master can get a sum of money, which fulfills my promise!"

"Ah?" Liang Yuzhong and Mrs. Sun were at a loss, what do you mean?

"Then, if your matchmaking fails and your grandfather waits anxiously, what about the vacancy of ten taels of silver?" Sun asked worriedly, and Liang Yuzhong did the same.

Now in the eyes of outsiders, they can only see that Liang Laosan's family lives in a large courtyard with more than ten acres of fertile land. There are housekeepers and servants in the house, and they also hire long-term workers. There are three shops outside. Now the family is raising chickens and ducks in a big way. He also grabbed five piggies and came back.

From the eyes of outsiders, all they see is white silver. When the gorgeous coat is uncovered, in fact, outsiders don't know the real inside.Jin Xi's family now has only a few taels of daily cash on hand, and the family business is bigger than before, but the expenses required for the operation and management of this business are also increasing at the same time, which is not easy!
"Father, mother, don't worry, I will definitely fulfill my promise to you, if that doesn't work, at worst, I'll go to the shop and ask shopkeeper Zhang to advance an advance of more than ten taels of silver to send to my grandfather. Don't care about Grandpa's thoughts, I only see that he is my father's father, let's help him again!"

Sun didn't say anything anymore, Liang Yuzhong looked at Jin Xi, reached out and touched Jin Xi's head, and said, "Xi'er, I'm sorry..."

……

It was still early after dinner, and the children of Jinrou, Wenyun and Wen'an were playing in the big yard, while Mama Dong watched from the side.Mrs. Sun accompanied Mrs. Sun to coax the third and fourth children to sleep in the East Wing. Liang Yuzhong went to the side yard next door to discuss with the long-term workers about the spring planting.

Because she was going to stay in the county town for a few days the next day, after Jin Xi packed up a few changes of clothes, she opened the door and went to the East Wing to see the third and fourth children, just in time to see Mrs. Sun and Mrs. Sun discussing something secret under the lamp. Things, Mrs. Sun was talking, Mrs. Sun was listening, as if she was explaining something, Mrs. Sun kept nodding.

Seeing Jinxi coming in, Mrs. Sun paused, pretending to lightly move the hanging basket beside her, the third and fourth child in the hanging basket were sleeping soundly, and the third child was still gentle and graceful when she was asleep, pink There was a hint of a smile at the corner of his mouth, but the fourth child was different, with slightly tanned skin, he slept peacefully, and the corner of his mouth was still drooling.

Mrs. Sun smiled slightly, and said to Mrs. Sun: "Mother, let's continue talking. Xi'er is a ghost, and she must be in the middle of the matter between Aunt Taozhi and Boy Sheng! You just told me That matter, if you want everyone to be happy, you really need this girl's idea!"

Mrs. Sun looked at Jinxi in surprise, which made Jinxi feel a little embarrassed, and said with a pursed smile, "I'm doing it for my cousin Taozhi, okay, lady, mother, don't pay attention to me, you should say What do you say!"

Mrs. Sun shook her head and laughed, and leaned closer to Mrs. Sun and whispered to her. Jin Xi took out the soft handkerchief she carried with her, wiped the saliva from the corners of the fourth child's mouth lightly, sat next to Mrs. Sun on the stool beside her, and listened carefully. Listen to their conversation.

It can be said that there are three women in one drama, and the topic of the two of them is actually to facilitate Taozhi and Liang Lisheng's good deeds. Jinxi regained her energy when she heard it, and listened to Mrs. Sun's plan with bated breath.

"...Both of them are masters who take a whip and move a step. This time in Sunjiagou, I saw that silly girl Taozhi secretly giving shoes to people in the house after Yeye fell asleep. Hidden under the bed board, I took advantage of her to wash your uncle's shoes during the day, and I looked them out, they were all men's shoes, if they were made for Dahu, Erhu and Yubao, how could they be so sneaky? Just guess, it must have been given to the second grandson of the old Liang family, Mr. Sheng."
